User blog:Jinnbow/I have a game-breaking problem

​What's so special that you should worry about my problems?
This is something I think should be addressed immediately, as it could essentially break the core funtion of the game: Battling. This is also a problem on mobile.

A while ago, I stumbled across a very concerning glitch that froze the game when I entered a battle. This goes for both Colosseum and Wild battles. I will explain each of them as I experienced them, but the basic jist of it is that when I enter a battle after logging in, the game freezes on me. The client doesn't crash, and sprites don't stop moving, it's just that the battle never starts, despite the encounter happening.

-Wild Battles: Wild battles are probably the most annoying thing to deal with right now, as battling is the core mechanic of the game. When I enter a wild encounter, the camera juts outward as per usual, then runs back towards my avatar, filling the screen black. That's all that happens, though, as the game doesn't go past that black screen. It just sits there playing the wild encounter music without anything happening. The wild pokemon's cry doesn't even sound, which is concerning, because this means that an encounter occured without a pokemon being set to appear. Every time this happens, I am forced to restart my game. Starting set encounters like Regice doesn't work either; the battle just never happens despite the intro cutscene happening.

-Colosseum Battles: This isn't as much of a problem as it is a minor nuisence. Colosseum battles are generally the same as the wild encounters except that enstead of staying on a black screen, the screen fades to reveal two trainers, myself and my opponent, standing in place, completely unmoving. There is no text box, no pokemon being sent out, no prompts of any kind, just two strangely dressed rectangle people staring at each other. The only reason i'm bringing this up is because it barrs me from getting BP, which in turn barrs me from getting things like mega stones, TMs, and evolutionary items.

-Trading: Trading works just fine, except I can't get any pokemon back since I can't initiate battles to catch more.

-Possible Solutions: Starting a new game fixes it, but I'd rather not delete all my progress just to fix a bug.

tl;dr: My game is super busted and I need someone to fix my problems for me.
